Shane Morigeau of Missoula speaking on the floor of the state House in Helena, Montana, during the legislative session. Morigeau said the 2021 legislative session has been a nightmare for Indian Country and Montana Indians, in part due to bills that could make it more difficult for Native Americans living on reservations to vote and the removal of Margarett Campbell from the Montana Human Rights Commission, which leaves the commission without Native American representation for the fist time in at least 16 years.

The Session Week 4: Affordable Housing, Voting, Teacher Pay As of midday Jan. 22, 375 bills have been introduced, one bill has become law. This week, we’re watching policy that could impact housing, voting, teacher pay. House Bill 21 passed the House last week and is now heading to the Senate. The bill carried by Rep. Geraldine Custer, a Republican from Forsyth, proposes to expand a program the Legislature passed last session, which lets the Montana Board of Housing use a portion of the state’s coal trust fund as a bank to offer low-interest loans to affordable housing developers. House Bill 134, sponsored by Missoula Democratic Rep. Danny Tenenbaum would limit the zoning powers of Montana cities of 50,000 people or more to designate certain neighborhoods for only single-family homes. Tenenbaum argues that those zoning regulations put an artificial constraint on housing supply, driving up prices so that housing is less affordable than it would be if it was easier to convert homes in those neighborhoods to duplexes, triplexes or fourplexes.
